John the Baptist came with the mission to restore all the mistakes committed by the people of Israel so that he could prepare the foundation for the Messiah. John the Baptist appeared in the position of Cain and Jesus came in the position of Abel. Jesus was to come as the Messiah in the subject position to the Israelite people that should have been united with John the Baptist. If the people of Israel had then been completely united as an absolute object with the absolute subject, Jesus, they would never have perished.

God's providence is to reach the peak of completion with True Parents as absolute subject united with an absolute object.

Because Jesus was crucified on the cross, True Parents in a physical form could not be actualized at that time. In other words, God's blood lineage was established, but the substantial True Parents, having both spirit and physical body were not actualized. Christian history, I in the diagram, is limited to the spirit world and spiritual salvation, and the physical salvation-physical redemption-was not realized. There have been only a spiritual father and mother in Christianity until today. When True Parents come, we have to set up a symbolic condition to be born again as a new life from the mother's womb. We are now walking such a course of restoration.

The Holy Spirit has played the role of mother in Christianity thus far. Christians are to go through the motherly Holy Spirit and the spirit of Jesus, and then to be born anew in spirit.

Of course, we are born out of our mother's womb; but when we think one step further, the origin of life is the father. Although our blood lineage can be restored by going through the mother's womb, in that case we still do not get to meet our father. That is why Christians have been waiting and hoping to go back to their father Christ-the origin of life-with the help of the mother spirit, the Holy Spirit's power. The life of a son and a daughter, prior to the Fall, was started as a seed in father Adam's body. The seed of life is inside the father's body.

From the original viewpoint, we cannot be satisfied with only spiritual rebirth. We must be born again substantially with both spirit and body. That is why we must go back to the position of the seed in order to restart both physically and spiritually. In order to accomplish such a providence, True Parents must come as a bridegroom and a bride, and we are promised to be born again as a new life by going through True Parents who re-plant us as new seeds so that we can be born again as a new restored life. Considering all the facts mentioned above, we can automatically know that a new Messiah is necessary.
